How to Lose Weight - Stop Holding on to Food That Doesn't Love You Back

Many people who try to lose weight want to hold onto their favorite foods. They want to keep eating chocolate cake at the weekend, or drinking sodas. Why on earth would you want to keep doing that when these foods are just damaging your body?

We hold onto these things like security blankets. Why else would we be willing to damage our body for the sake of taste? Regardless of weight loss, the best thing to do is to let go of them for good and to see these things for what they are.

You may love them but they do NOT love you back. If they did, you wouldn't put on weight, you wouldn't be moody, you wouldn't feel depressed hours or even days later, you will feel lethargic and tired. You would feel the opposite!

These foods and drinks do not nourish you, but you sacrifice your health just for a few minutes of taste sensation.

When we realize that these foods aren't worth it, we can then move forward to a healthier happy life. Don't hold on to them because they will keep coming back to hurt you and your weight loss goals.

These foods do nothing for you but help hide and repress feelings that need to be released. So instead of indulging in them or holding on, start giving your body what it wants. Start your day with a green smoothie to help nourish your body and put you in the right mindset. A simple green smoothie would be to blend 2 handfuls of spinach with 4-5 bananas and some water. You will be amazed how level you will feel all morning on this smoothie!

On top of this it is great to start incorporating fruit at the beginning of every meal. Fruit is your friend!

Besides this, it is good to try and eat a large vegetable salad everyday. I find that mixing it in my evening meal helps and sticking with veggies I like in large quantities.

These are only a few tips to get started but by eating more fruit and vegetables and acknowledging that those junks foods are no good for you, you will soon start feeling great and no longer want or desire indulgence in those rubbish foods. And even if you do and do indulge, you will soon discover exactly what you really are missing out on and it won't be nice!
